D. Identification of the dispensing or prescribing veterinarian's name on
the label:

A veterinarian's name and address is required on all prescription and extra-
label use drugs. Many clinic labels will list more than one veterinarian's name.
In such cases, the name of the individual who actually dispensed or pre-
scribed the drug must be identified on the label. Identification is most often
accomplished by underlining, circling, or checking the name of the
veterinarian who dispensed or prescribed the drug.

Veterinarians may own or be full time employees on some dairy farms. All
drugs in use or stored on the dairy operation of these farms must comply with
the labeling and storage requirements of the PMO.

II. Drug Storage Requirements

The PMO addresses storage requirements which separate the lactating
and non-lactating cattle drugs. A separate shelf in cabinets, refrigerators,
or other storage facilities satisfies this item. Labeling the shelves
(lactating/non-lactating) is recommended but not a PMO requirement.

1. All drugs must be stored in such a manner that they cannot con-
taminate the milk or milk product contact surface of the
equipment, containers or utensils.

2. Unapproved and/or improperly labeled drugs should not be used
to treat dairy animals and are not to be stored in the milkhouse,
milking barn, stable or parlor.

3. Drugs intended for the treatment of non-lactating animals are
segregated from those drugs used for lactating animals.
